"Huh? Why do you feel familiar?"
Zhang Feng walked to the wall and squatted down, and Caroline quickly followed. Her mission today was to protect Zhang Feng and not leave him even a step.
Zhang Feng touched the claw marks and looked puzzled.
"Master Zhang Feng, have you discovered anything?"
"Um."
Zhang Feng hummed, then carefully stroked the claw marks. On the inky black marks, he felt a slight chill from his fingertips.
“This kind of stone is called black stone?”
Marlowe said yes respectfully.

Exquisite and translucent, lush and green.
"Set off!"
Bang! Bang! Bang! It was still just ordinary stone debris. Zhang Feng began to doubt himself.
Listening to Marlowe's words, Zhang Feng felt a little embarrassed. He forgot that this stone was at the very bottom of the city wall, and if it moved a little, the whole wall would be affected.
Zhang Feng turned his head away and stopped looking at the black stone wall. Out of sight, out of heart.
Before Zhang Feng could react, Caroline held him in her arms.
Hearing Zhang Feng's words, Knight Marlowe did not dare to neglect. He thought carefully and remembered that when the previous city lord was in office, he lived in seclusion in Hongye City. At that time, because he did not have much gold coins, in order not to expose his identity, Marlowe worked part-time as a stone mover. He was on the scene when this city wall was built.
Zhang Feng's heartbeat was a little fast. He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. Then he put away the flashlight and said to Knight Marlowe with a serious face:
A small flashlight as thick as a thumb appeared in his slender palm. These were some small things Zhang Feng had prepared on Blue Star.
Zhang Feng gave the order immediately, he was a little impatient.
After all, this is a different world, and Zhang Feng is not quite sure, so he just calls it Jade for the time being.
Did I see it wrong?
Caroline: “…”
Zhang Feng suddenly asked.
Listening to Malo's words, Zhang Feng shook his head. As the name suggests, Blackrock Forest must be a place full of rocks. Horse-drawn carriages probably wouldn't be very useful there, so it would be better to ride horses.
“Can you dig it out?”
Marlowe affirmed.
Caroline suddenly spoke up.
"How about taking a carriage? But the roads in the Black Rock Forest are not easy to travel on. If you take a carriage, it will be slow. In addition, we originally had two carriages in Red Leaf City, one of which broke down and the other is very old. I guess the riding experience will not be very good."
"Yes, this is the Black Stone."
Zhang Feng lifted the rag with some anticipation, but what was revealed was just a pile of gray stone debris.
Zhang Feng was still rational after all. Although he had the urge to tear down the wall to see how many jades were inside, he knew that if he did so, his Hongye City would not be far from being destroyed.
Listening to Marlowe's explanation, Zhang Feng nodded.
Marlowe waved his hand and a soldier trotted over. Marlowe said a few words to him and the soldier hurried away. Not long after, the soldier came back carrying a large wooden basket.
"Let's go there first today!"
Ma Luo threw out his spear without any fancy moves, and hit the black stone directly. With a bang, the black stone shattered, but because it was covered by a cloth, the debris did not splash onto Zhang Feng.
Marlowe and Caroline looked at each other.
Zhang Feng lay at the foot of the wall again, looking at the large patch of claw marks that were made by someone he wasn't sure whether it was a wolf or a leopard.
"yes."
According to the experience on Blue Planet, the raw jadeite is all in the jadeite mines. There is no jadeite in other 'black stones', but the 'black stones' in this city wall contain jadeite. It is very likely that the stone pit used to build this city wall is a jadeite mine!
"yes."
"Lord City Lord, please mount your horse!"
"No?"
Marlowe never asked why. He took the spear from the soldier, put the black stone on the ground, and found a piece of cloth to wrap the black stone.
Zhang Feng turned his head to look at the heroic Caroline, and then at the unshaven Marlo. As expected, Zhang Feng chose the former.
However, due to the angle, the sun was not shining directly, so Zhang Feng could not see clearly. He could only see something black under the claw marks, but Zhang Feng always felt that it should not be black, but dark green.
Looking at Marlowe who was leading the horse in front of him, and then at Caroline who was standing beside him, Zhang Feng said awkwardly: "If I say I can't ride a horse, would you believe me?"
Looking at this not very tall wall again, Zhang Feng felt a little complicated. This might be a wall built with jade! The value of jade is needless to say. The cheap ones are very cheap, but the expensive ones are also very expensive, even ridiculously expensive. Who knows if there are any precious jades in such a long wall! If this wall sees the light of day again, the picture will be too beautiful, and Zhang Feng can't even imagine it.
Knight Marlowe and Caroline naturally pretended not to see Zhang Feng's somewhat indecent action, and the soldiers around him also tacitly turned their backs to Zhang Feng.
But he was still somewhat unwilling and even eager to try, because according to his guess, this was not a black stone at all, but a raw jadeite!
"Do you know where these 'black stones' were transported from when the city wall was built? Don't tell me they are in the Black Stone Forest. I need the exact location!"
"It should be in a rock pit in the west of Blackrock Forest."
Nobles can't ride horses?
"Lord Zhang Feng, how about... the two of us riding together? Or you and Knight Marlowe riding together?"
Although it sounded incredible and surprised the two, after all, this was a compulsory course for the nobles, but there was no need for Zhang Feng to lie to themselves, and the two chose to believe him.
Zhang Feng felt a little embarrassed by the sudden petite posture. He looked at Caroline and whispered, "Can we switch positions? You in front and I in the back?"
Caroline got on the horse first, and then after Zhang Feng handed her hand over, she lifted it up with force.
"yes!"
Zhang Feng took it and looked at it, then handed it to Ma Luo.
"Are there any other black stones? I mean, ones that can be brought to me."
"Hiss~"
"This... should be gone. When we were moving the stones, we moved stones of similar size. After all, it's not easy to go back and forth, so we calculated the number of stones needed in advance..."
But he can't ride...
Zhang Feng turned his head and looked around, and when he saw that no one was looking at him, he suddenly had an idea.
Turning on the flashlight, he placed it on the claw marks. Suddenly, a brilliant and deep dark green color emerged from the claw marks.
“Huh~”
In other words, it is something similar to jadeite raw stone.
"yes!"
"Break him to pieces."
Zhang Feng was a little confused. He looked at the large black stone at the base of the wall again, feeling a little unwilling.
"Master Zhang Feng, it is not impossible to dig out this black stone, but it may affect the stability of this section of the city wall."
"By the way, are there any stones left from when this wall was built?"
Marlowe: "..."
However, looking at the three tall horses that Malo led, Zhang Feng was a little confused.
Knight Marlowe had no idea of Zhang Feng's inner struggle. He waved his hand and twenty soldiers stood in neat rows. They were wearing armor and holding spears. Although their equipment was not as good as Knight Marlowe's "Fine Steel Series", it was also very good. After all, Zhang Feng was still willing to spend gold coins on this.
Zhang Feng pointed at the black stone with several claw marks on it.
There are several small gray stones in the wooden basket, which are the "black stones".
"Break the rest."
